Sunday Afternoon

Hattie had a great first Thanksgiving. We were with Liz's side of the family in Columbus, MS. On the way there I mentioned that we didn't bring her swing or anything to put her in (other than her pack 'n play). This was not a problem. She was hardly put down the whole time we were there. She also made it almost all the way through the church service this morning. She fussed a bit during the sermon (sometimes I can't blame her), but loves listening to her momma in the choir!

Caught in the Act

But it just tastes so good!

Head 2 Head

Where've you been?!

All apologies. Life with Hattie is stuck on fast-forward, and we've been pretty busy. So here are some new pictures from the past few weeks.

Some updates: Nyla, Hattie's cousin, is doing very well. Brad went out to Arizona to visit Julie, Pete, Nyla, and Larry (Pawpaw) while Elizabeth and Hattie went up to North Carolina where the Lewallens live.

ALSO, some big news...we will be heading to seminary next fall! We don't know which seminary we'll end up at, but Brad has officially been made a postulant for Holy Orders in the Diocese of Alabama. Hattie's dad is going to be Father Brad!

Can you believe it's been 8 weeks! Yep, after Thanksgiving Elizabeth will be headed back to the "other" nursing job. On the two days a week Liz works, Brad will get to play Mr. Mom.

Cousins

Congratulations to Julie & Pete on the birth of their daughter - Nyla Reese Davinson. Nyla came two days before her due date, and weighed in at 7 lbs. 14 oz. Welcome to parenthood! Brad will go meet his new neice in just a few weeks, but Hattie & Nyla will have to wait until Christmas to meet each other. Welcome to the world Nyla!

Why am I laughing?

Because my cousin, Nyla Reese, has arrived!

Best Friends

Mary Clare is 11 months older than Hattie...a big difference right now. But in no time at all, they are going to be best friends.

Silly Faces

Here Dad & Hattie are mirroring each other. She's starting to impersonate the faces you make at her...incredibly cute.
